Why I love chocolate cookie cheesecake

• It’s delicious and addictive
• It can be served on many occasions
• The cake is filling and decadent

Is cheesecake better baked or not baked?

It depends on preference. I prefer baked cheesecake as it has a firm, dense, fluffy, and moist texture, which you can’t get with the no-bake version.

How to serve chocolate cookie cheesecake?

You can serve this dessert with hot chocolate, coffee, milk, whipped cream, or ice cream.  

Cooking tips:

• Using softened cream cheese produces a creamy and smooth cheesecake filling.
• Using cold butter from the fridge prevents the cookies from overspreading
• Avoid over-baking the cake, as it’s meant to be soft and sticky

Variations:

• Use vegan or dairy-free cream cheese if you’re looking for a vegetarian option.
• Replace the four eggs with one cup of applesauce. The applesauce will act as a binder.
• Use mint chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate chips to achieve a minty flavor.
